Janet

Center Director/ Owner

Janet received her Bachelor of Arts (English Major, Psychology minor) and Certificate in Education at the University of Manitoba. She has taught in Manitoba, Alberta, and Saskatchewan and has lived in and is certified to teach in all three provinces. In 2000, she and her husband saw an opportunity to make Regina their permanent home and opened an Oxford Learning Centre in Regina. 

The study tip Janet would advise is to slow down when reading a chapter and think about what you are reading by asking yourself, “What did I just read and what do I need to remember?”

Janet and her husband Art have four grown children, 7 grandchildren, and 4 grand dogs! Her passion is helping children be the best they can be in school and in life. To relax, she enjoys reading, cooking, gardening, and sewing. She enjoys swimming and walking in the park with her grandchildren or playing a board game with them – she plays to win!

Amy holds a B.Ed. from the University of Regina in French Education (Le Bac). She's had many different teaching experiences in French Immersion from a full-time classroom, to guest teaching and has been a part of the Oxford Learning Regina team off and on for over 10 years.

Study tip: Have fun with your planning and organization! I love to use coloured pens, highlighters and stickers in my agenda to help keep me on track. Try choosing a different colour for each subject. 

Bonny

Education Coordinator

Bonny graduated with a Bachelor of Education Degree focusing on Education of Exceptional Children. She was motivated by a drive to make a difference in the lives of deaf and hard of hearing. Between classes, she would spend her time volunteering in two programs dedicated to the deaf and hard of hearing.

Teaching experiences included assignments with students requiring a prescriptive approach to learning from Pre-Kindergarten through to Grade Twelve over a seven-year period. 

The following ten years brought a new approach to learning the philosophy of Montessori Education, for students ages three to thirteen. Bonny fulfilled the roles of Directress and classroom teacher.

Having found and experienced the Oxford Learning approach, which fit into her learning philosophy of treating the learner as a unique individual, she has been a part of it for ten plus years.

When not working to make a difference in the lives of learners she spends time with her adult children, creates food-stuffs from her country garden, takes country walks with her adoring Pyrenees, reads classic literature, plays classical guitar, and tackles home renovation projects.

My specialty is secondary English education, however, I also teach Social Studies and sometimes math when I am at the center. My favourite things about teaching are when I get to help students learn about things that are interesting to them, and watching students develop and be confident with new skills. In my spare time, I love to read, cook, and spend time with my family, friends and my dogs (and my couch)!  My favourite quote is "start where you are, use what you have, do what you can" by Arthur Ashe.
